Frequently Asked Questions

Independent living communities cater to active seniors who manage their own daily tasks, offering housing and amenities without personal care. Assisted living adds support for one or two activities of daily living (ADLs)—bathing, dressing, medication reminders—while still promoting autonomy. Nursing homes provide 24/7 skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services for those requiring constant medical oversight. Nursing-staffed care refers to settings with registered nurse supervision onsite to manage complex medical needs and treatments.
Smaller, home-based settings at Woodhaven Homes foster deeper relationships, more individualized attention, and stronger family involvement. Research shows that seniors who age in place experience lower levels of depression and higher overall satisfaction compared to those in institutional settings.

Our base fee covers a private suite, utilities, daily meals, housekeeping, occasional transportation coordinated, social activities, and wellness programming.
1. Our care team—led by a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, with input from your loved one’s physician—conducts a thorough evaluation of functional, medical, and behavioral needs. We translate that assessment into a point-based care tier, and as our staff routinely reviews any changes in health or abilities, we adjust the level of support (and corresponding fees) so you only pay for the services truly required.
We understand that navigating the cost of senior care can feel overwhelming—especially when you're just beginning to explore options for a loved one. At Woodhaven Homes, we’re here to walk alongside you with transparency and compassion. Families often use a combination of resources to make care more affordable, including:
- Private funds (savings, pensions, Social Security)
- Proceeds from selling a home
- Long-term care insurance
- Veterans’ Aid & Attendance benefits
- Life insurance cash-value options
- Many families also explore creative solutions with our team—such as bridge loans, family cost-sharing, or phased care planning—to find a path that fits both care needs and financial realities. You're not alone in this process, and we’re committed to helping you find a sustainable, dignified solution

We offer Basic Support plus three levels—Level 1 (independent plus medication management), Level 2 (bathing, dressing, transfers), and Level 3 (full ADL care and behavior monitoring) based on functional needs.
A Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse lead the evaluation, in partnership with your physician, to create a personalized, evolving care plan.

Communities provide art, fitness, chair yoga, strength training at various levels, outings, and specialized therapies (occupational, physical, speech)—often at no extra cost.
Safety is our highest priority. Woodhaven Homes adheres to strict state safety and health regulations. Our facility is designed with wide, well-lit hallways, non-slip flooring, and emergency call systems in every private suite. We conduct regular health checks and maintain comprehensive emergency protocols for medical events, fire, severe weather, and infectious outbreaks. In addition, our security systems provide 24/7 monitoring to ensure residents are protected at all times—physically, medically, and emotionally.

Key topics include: staffing ratios and training; dining options and menus; activity calendars; wellness and therapy services; safety features (handrails, call buttons); and emergency protocols.
Consider levels of care offered (independent living vs. assisted living vs. memory care), community size, cultural/religious programs, dietary and social preferences, and proximity to family and doctors.
